User database

Does anyone know of an article/tutorial on creating a user database system. I have an article management script which works great. For example I can add, edit, delete authors and the same with categories and articles. One problem is though anyone can access the admin options i.e. any old author can add or delete other authors, or change other peoples work. I want a system where different people have different access levels.
